Nice, is it GTO/dev or the marketing side of it? Quite a few people I did my placement with/worked with ended up in ED&D either in Xbox or mediaroom, one even ended up in a dev studio

Finance but it does involve them buying his house and flying him and his family and all their stuff over to the US. Where they have a house waiting for him. Jammy git!!!

Passed my MCITP: Enterprise Administrator exam.
Actually took me an hour to do (out of three & a half available).

If I'd told my supervisor that it was my birthday earlier on, he'd have given me the afternoon off! Instead, I didn't say anything (new workplace, colleagues etc) and am going to sit here till 1830. Worse still, most of the patients are coming after 1630 so I've got a few more hours of moping to do.

Been asked to help film the Hellaflush event in Wembley this september. AFAIK, it's unpaid, but expenses should be covered. Answers please. Also on a car related theme - one for the detailing nuts: http://www.stuttgart9.co.uk/forum/car-detailing/5767-mozs-detailers-inc-versus-lambo-lp560-4-spyder-warning-detailing-porn-alert.html

Little more digging - I'd be expected to chip in and share a family room with two other guys I don't know very well, or shell out for a room for friday/saturday night. I'm not terribly interested in the type of car this event is all about either. I've also got a wedding in London to go to in October. All in all, it's going to end up costing me to stay for the weekend, and the gig's a favour to an acquaintance. I think I'll pass.
